Senior Profile: Jordan Handy
by Hilary delaBruere
Exchange Staff
Senior Jordan Handy sat down with me and talked about future prospects for law school, Franklin Pierce as his "family" and his passion for meeting new people.
Hd: How did you choose Franklin Pierce?
JH: I liked the campus. I liked the small knit community, the small classrooms; the student professor ratio. I also loved the diversity.
Hd: What exactly is your major?
JH: Finance with a Pre-law track.
Hd: Why did you choose this major?
JH: I am very business oriented. Business can be incorporated and applied to almost anything. Also, I have always wanted to go to law school, particularly I'd like to go to a law school just like Franklin Pierce. I just took my LSATS (Law School Admission Test) on February 2.
Hd: When will you receive your results?
JH: February 18. I am pretty nervous.
Hd: So, I assume you plan on attending law school after graduation; do you have any other plans if that falls through?
JH: I plan on applying to work with some sort of finance firm.
Hd: Do you think your experience at Franklin Pierce has prepared you for the real world?
JH: Yes.
Hd: What are some of the most beneficial experiences you have had here at Franklin Pierce?
JH: Law Club and SIFE and through that I have met a lot of people, and fine-tuned my networking skills.
Hd: Do you have any one accomplishment from your four years here that you are most proud of?
JH: The Law Club. It has grown from a small group to about 17 members. I started the club. That was my baby. I am also very proud of being the President of SIFE, it is a whole lot of fun—I love this school just for giving me these opportunities.
Hd: How have you become an active member of this campus?
JH: I love meeting new people, so I got involved with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). I am currently the Co-President of SIFE and the President of the Law Club. I have done two seasons of lacrosse, served two years as treasurer of my class, I am involved with SGA (Student Government Association), and I host a political radio talk show, Tuesdays and Saturdays from 6-8 pm.
Hd: Do you have any regrets or anything that you would change about your experience here at Pierce?
JH: Maybe that I didn't take it in as much as I should have. Time is short; you don't realize how quick your years go by. I took it for granted I guess.
Hd: What will you miss most about Franklin Pierce?
JH: Well, this is the last time in my life I'll be able to live like this. I am going to miss the classes, and the constant friends all around. It is going to be sad to leave what has been my life for the past four years. It's a family and I'm going to miss it.
Hd: Do you have any advice for underclassmen?
JH: If I knew then what I know now, I would tell them to enjoy each other's differences, and just to enjoy people—and the experience, go with the flow, don't add troubles, and stay smart.
Hd: Anything else you would like to add about yourself, hobbies outside of Franklin Pierce?
JH: I like to play harmonica. I swim as much as
I possibly can in Winchendon. I love to interact with as many people as
much as possible. I like to run and to coach. I ran two marathons without
training for them.
